I liked this book! I liked the subtlety of the toxicity that felt very true to life. Adelaide was easy to root for, and her friends were well fleshed out. The audio narration was well executed. The mental health content was treated with both realism and sensitivity. I would definitely recommend this, particularly to women in their 20s struggling to make sense of the dating landscape and trying so hard to see the best in people they want to love.

Editing to add something I forgot: It’s worth noting there are multiple substantial HP references in this book. That’s definitely a disappointment at this point and I’d love to see authors slowing down that reference in light of current awareness.
